Please see kat's post above--she MIGHT lose a year of eligibility if she transferred to Cal, or another Pac12 school. It's up to the discretion of USC whether to waive or enforce that. She would both red-shirt and lose a year if USC didn't waive the penalty.

Any word on how the OV went? Timetable for her decision? Hoping Coach G can work her magic. Thanks.

Wonder what others schools she is interested in. Former Cal Star teammates are all along the coast. Don't know if it is a 2-fer (including sister) but that really increase the number of schools interested in her. Mariya is a scorer and can create her own shots and I think she has to get reinsurance from the coaches that she is not here just to toss the ball over the top to Kristine.

Honestly, once Mark Trakh came back into the picture for USC, this should not surprise anyone. Most players and recruits REALLY liked him.

I think Mariya's interest in playing closer to home was/is still sincere.

In my memory, most NorCal recruits consider UCLA/USC close enough to home and vice versa.

Sure, her folks will have to take $100 flights, 1hr each way to see their home games (or a 6-hour drive) as opposed to an hour on BART or driving to Berkeley. But if they also wanted to try and catch some of her Pac-12 road games, Cal vs. USC makes no difference.

Plus, playing with her sister, which may not have been an option with Cal, is big. If USC informed Minyon that she would not get a waiver to the intra-conference transfer penalty, that would hardly be bad PR for USC considering restrictions given to other players in the conference in the past (e.g. the fiasco with the incoming freshmen Tia Jackson inherited at UW). Instead of expecting USC to give a player like Minyon a waiver to transfer into Cal, why not Cal recruit Minyon coming out of HS?
